Academy City Temperature Control

"Hey, Saten-san. Is this your friend?"

Poking her head out from the side of the panda doll, Natsume Sonoko looked at the two girls who were discussing something with curiosity.

It was very easy for her to find someone nearby.

Although I don’t know what happened, the two of them seemed to be very close.

"It turns out to be Natsume-san."

Hearing the sound, Saten-san couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Frenda on the side froze, hurriedly pushing down her beret, and placing several of her dolls behind her.

"That's right, he's my new friend."

I was stunned for a moment when I looked at Flanda, as if I didn't even know her name.But then, Saten Ruiko nodded vigorously, and then received Flanda's grateful gaze.

What's going on? Natsume-san doesn't know the other person at all, and she doesn't know what the blond girl has been nervous about.

But this also made Saten-san relax. It was a good thing that nothing happened.

"Well, have we met somewhere?"

Suddenly tilting his head, Natsume-san also felt that the beret girl in front of him looked familiar.

"You definitely have the wrong person. In fact, I am a transfer student, from a far away foreign country. And I just transferred to Academy City not long ago. My favorite food is mackerel with the taste of my hometown." Exchangequn 2 Lingliu [-] Dimension Internal Qun Sanqi Ling Six Three Ling Liu Ba [-]

Frenda immediately stuck out her tongue, put her smooth and white fists on her temples, and showed a non-threatening smile.

Originally, I wanted to dance a hometown dance to gain the other party's trust, but the other party seemed to believe it immediately, and she was still an easy-to-dismiss young lady.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I can't tell the difference between foreigners. I always feel that they all look the same."

"As you know, many people have this problem."

After receiving a negative answer from the other party, Natsume-san said a little embarrassedly.

In fact, Wan Zitou, who has always been lazy, has no interest in verifying the truth of the other party's words.

There are indeed some students from abroad in Academy City, but they are not many compared to the people from the island country.

"It's great. It's great to develop like this. In the end, we got out of the crisis smoothly."

"But we can't relax yet."

Pursing her lips slightly, a girl named Frenda walked side by side with the two of them.It just seems that there is still some vague rejection, and a social distance of more than [-] centimeters is always maintained.

Originally, she wanted to say goodbye immediately and stay away from this place of right and wrong, but as soon as she thought that the other party might follow her back to the ANBU station, Flanda had to suppress her inner thoughts and carefully collect the existing intelligence to discern the other party's true intentions.

But all this seems to be in vain, a waste of my time.

No matter how you look at it, the young lady in the greenhouse who seems to be extremely threatening is actually unwary, and her back, which is weak in defense, is carelessly exposed.

Moreover, the other party didn't even do basic intelligence gathering work, let alone obtain any 'props' information from him by making some insinuations.

There was also the argument that she couldn't remember the appearance of foreigners, which made Flanda a little speechless. How could her sense of existence be so low? She had obviously appeared in the first few chapters.

Having said that, the eighth person must have discovered something, but in the end he believed her words casually, and he was so nervous for a long time.

"Ah, why can such a person become a superpower? It's really unfair."

"Obviously I can't even remember the appearance of my opponent, I lack basic vigilance, and I'm so keen on gossip..."

After silently complaining for a few words, it was the first time that Frenda had a good contact with this superpower person. However, after contacting him, she found that the other person was just the most ordinary junior high school student.

Even more casual than the average junior high school student, she was chatting about various urban legends and Indian poker topics along the way, and even she was forced to express her opinion.

"Long-term use of Indian poker cards made by the same person will cause obvious mood swings and auditory hallucinations."

"Is this rumor popular now?"

Stepping on the solid stone tiles, the originally light pace suddenly slowed down. Natsume-san turned around and looked at Saten-san in surprise.

This is probably the brainwashing function that Ishizuchi Shokuhou-senpai thought before.

"It's very popular, so now everyone is avoiding the long-term use of cards made by a single talented Dreamer. Of course, some people don't take it seriously, because the cards made by some talented Dreamers are really very popular."

"The specific performance is like having someone talking in your ear all the time, telling you what you should do, and other people's ideas are lingering in your head."

"But this is unavoidable. Indian Poker is all someone else's dream. As long as it happens too many times, your thoughts and ideas will of course be affected by that person."

Saten couldn't help but nodded, and said seriously, knowing very well the current Indian poker rumors.

Although it is said to be some gossip, it is more like some rules of use.

There are no instructions for use or after-sales service for this kind of informal thing. Academy City officials still haven't done anything about it. Some basic rules are mostly summarized and summarized by existing users.

"It is even said that frequent use of cards with fixed themes may cause similar effects. If you always use cards full of destruction and violence, then you may actually be driven by violent thoughts."

Saten-san continued to add.

Especially if you choose dream cards that are consistent with your own personality and concepts, it will increase the paranoid part of your personality and emotions.And once this kind of emotion gets out of control, it will cause serious consequences, endangering yourself and those around you.

In fact, nothing will happen to students who have some sense, but for some students who do not have enough self-control and lack of backbone, they are easily influenced.

As soon as he finished speaking, even Frenda came over curiously this time. This was the first time she heard this talk about Indian poker.

Although Mugino did not stop them from using Indian poker, they were obviously very sensitive to this kind of thing that might invade the brain. It was not clear whether other people in ANBU used it.

Natsume classmate on the side was thoughtful. She had just seen an incident, which might be related to this statement.

It's easy to ask for a certificate. Just find Mr. Shirai or Mr. Yomikawa and ask for the confession of the current prisoner.

Therefore, Natsume-san’s previous hunch was basically correct. This thing is really similar to the Fantasy Tamer that he encountered last time, and it spreads to a wider range and affects a larger area.

Thinking of this, Natsume-san felt uncomfortable all over.

There is a high probability that this is another incident of technology being misused. No wonder Shokuhou-senpai's reaction seemed so big before.

"But speaking of Indian poker, Saten-san, you must be using it too."

Natsume-san suddenly reacted and said worriedly.

It would be bad if Saten-san was also affected, she would have to get involved.

"Because I don't have much budget, I buy skill-based Indian poker cards. These poker cards have been specially intercepted, and only the parts introducing skills are retained, so even if the idea of ​​​​talented dreamers remains, they are only scattered. The loose part.”

"And these types of cards are not interesting at all. They are boring when used, so not many people like them."

Her face was a little red, and Saten-san said a little embarrassed.

Unlike Natsume-san's pseudo-poverty situation where she becomes a rich woman next month, Saten Ruiko, who only has a scholarship for the incompetent, is a truly poor girl. This is a life of embarrassment that Natsume-san has never experienced.

Although Academy City's scholarships will not starve the incompetent, it is completely impossible to have enough spare money.Unless you ask your family outside for help, and then exchange the outside yen for the yen circulating in Academy City.

The young ladies of Tokiwadai and the ordinary students of Sagawa Middle School have very different concepts of money. You can imagine how shameless Natsume was when she secretly drank the black tea and milk from the Discipline Committee Branch 177.

"Skill cards?"

Natsume-san muttered softly, feeling a little curious.

"For example, skill cards such as pen-twisting, poker magic, and whistling are basically C-level cards. S-level cards such as teaching fighting or shooting are hard to come across." Saten The classmate answered softly.

If skills and knowledge could be replicated in bulk, the value of such cards would be completely different.

Unfortunately, the capacity of this kind of card is not large, and it can only hold some skills with a small amount of information at most.For example, fighting only teaches one and a half moves. It is completely impossible to become a fighting master immediately, but you can roughly master this part of the fighting skills.

Chapter 445 Norwegian Mackerel

Science and technology are the cornerstone of social development, and this is particularly prominent in the science-side world represented by Academy City.

Even if there is some conspiracy or hidden danger behind Indian Poker, or it is simply a product aimed at people with abilities, it represents a foreseeable bright future.

Students can easily learn knowledge and skills through various instruments and props without relying on traditional teaching methods.Even only superpower development classes, practical classes and physical education classes need to be retained. Most of the cramming cultural classes and even life classes can be completely replaced by this kind of technology.

You don't need to sit in your seat day after day. You just need to put it on your head and fall asleep to finish the class.

As long as she thinks about that kind of beautiful future, Natsume's body can't help but feel excited. That is her ideal world.

Sleep in class, go shopping, eat and play games after class. This is what the scientific age should be like.Moreover, sleeping more can also promote metabolism, which is most beneficial to the development of adolescent girls like her.

However, considering the negative factors and capacity limitations of Indian Poker, and the lack of strong regulatory measures, it was impossible at least while Natsume was studying.

"That kind of future must exist."

Stretching out five fingers, facing the blazing sun high in the sky, the girl with complicated thoughts murmured to herself.

The technology derived from their bodies will one day make the world a better place instead of just bringing sadness and terror.

After crossing the shopping street and walking through the Civic Garden, you can still see the iconic building without windows and doors when you raise your head.

At first, Natsume-san just planned to send Saten-san back to the dormitory of Sagawa Middle School, but later the foreign girl also followed him for some unknown reason.

However, Natsume Sonoko is a person who likes to make friends, so she does not reject the other person's existence. She obviously regards the other person as Saten-san's friend.

It's just that Saten-san kept hesitating, his eyes wandering around the two people, and finally said nothing.

If Natsume-san knew that this beret girl was just an unrelated person who appeared inexplicably, she would be able to understand Saten Ruiko's inner feelings.

It's like you obviously feel something is wrong, but you have to pretend that everything is normal. It's really hard.

The shade of the hanging trees casts dappled light spots, and the brand-new wicker chairs on the roadside mean that Academy City's public facilities are well maintained.

There was still some distance from the student dormitory of Zhachuan Middle School, but a few people suddenly stopped.

Treated by the beret girl, the three girls hid under the shade of the dense trees and licked the ice cream in their hands with different thoughts.

Both the pseudo-poor girl and the real poor girl are very happy. Anyway, as long as someone treats them, they can smile. The happiness in life is that simple.

"Hey, then it should be Senior Sister Severen."

Somewhat enlightened, a certain meatball head said with concern, and the three-color meatball-shaped ice cream in his hand couldn't help but shake a few times.

Yes, foreigners always have their surname last and first name first, which is very different from them here.However, she was used to calling her senior sister, senior sister, so she didn't realize it at all for a while.

"That's right. If you don't pay attention to such small details, you will make a joke."

"Speaking of which, when I first came to Academy City, it took me a few days to adapt to and learn from this change. In the end, this little difficulty didn't bother me at all."

Flanda Severen held her chin as she recalled, with a daze appearing on her face.

The other hand also held the same type of three-color ice cream, and he unknowingly blended into this strange group.

Her eyes would occasionally fall on No. [-].However, seeing the other party's full of loopholes and lack of defense, Flanda's vigilance has been reduced a lot, and she can already conclude that the other party has not discovered her identity at all.

As long as Anbu's identity is not exposed, she is just an ordinary transfer student in Academy City and can communicate with everyone normally without worrying about being suddenly attacked by the other party.

Even when the other party asked her name, she did not deliberately hide it.

Because this is completely unnecessary, the other party can only find out her identity in the surface world, and her four-digit friends also know her surface identity.

As for ANBU's information, if the other party can find out about ANBU, then there is no point in telling it.

"But it must be hard."

"After all, I have come to a completely unfamiliar place, and I have to take care of my sister."

She couldn't help but put herself into Frenda's situation. Natsume-san had always been a good supporter, and she also thought of the time when she first came to Academy City.

Something that all students in Academy City have to go through is leaving their hometown and coming to a strange place to learn some superpower.

But after the initial excitement subsided, only loneliness and panic remained until I completely adapted to life in this city and became independent.

In order to alleviate this loneliness, the word friend has become the most important comfort for a large number of students.The more people can't stand loneliness, the more they care about everything around them, and the more they do things that are inconsistent with their personality.

However, even though they paid the price of loneliness and endured the pain caused by ability development, only a few people reaped the fruits in the end. More than 60.00% of the students became incompetent and gained nothing.

As the pinnacle of the more than 200 million people in Academy City, the identity of a superpower carries too many things.

Natsume-san doesn't like to see envious looks in other people's eyes, nor does she want to attract too much attention.

Those gazes made her feel uncomfortable, which was probably a manifestation of inner uneasiness.

A certain ball head is destined not to become a so-called strong person. She is just an ordinary junior high school student who works hard to make a living. Her immediate goal is to trick Tsuchimikado's classmate into going home as a personal maid.

At first, I thought it was nothing, but Senior Sister Severen's words seemed to open the valve of memories, and the atmosphere between the few people became a little dull.

The initial period was the most unbearable and painful.

"Stop talking about those things. By the way, Severen-senpai, mackerel must be abundant in your hometown, so it must be Norway."

Saten Ruiko changed the topic in time, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
